weeeeeell it didn't make it this far.
we spent a good hour plus getting everyone thru an off camber,loose gravel rutted out section of the trail.

the bumper forgot diapers for the little one and had to go back to town

I love the step up on the 60's slider but arn't you afraid that is gonna rip off if it comes into some heavy contact? Or did you do it on purpose and make it so overly engineered that you can actualy pivot off it?

Either way its a cool idea my kids wish there was a step up into the 80.
